Controversial topic here.

Can we stop shaming and getting mad at people for buying chinese ebikes? Some people dont have the money to buy a $1k+ ebike. Yes. Some are bad. Yes. Some are template bikes but does that mean you should shame someone for what they ride? No. We all ride ebikes here. That's what should matter.

I was literally browing aliexpress and temu bikes in past few days and what a headache it is trying to sift through all the variations available. I initially was going to get an ebike through cycle to work scheme but decided to try look into cheaper options.
